Watershed Association Welcomes Winter With Outdoor Events

Colder weather is no excuse not to get out and enjoy the Great Swamp. The Great Swamp Watershed Association has a calendar full of fun things to do, even after the frost is on the pumpkin!

Fall Nature Detectives – November 13
Everyone loves to play detective. We’ll use our magnifying glasses, use all of our senses, and follow tracks and clues to see just who is accused of living in the Great Swamp Watershed. Bring your best detectives to this fun search and find. Particularly suitable for children 3-8. Families and babies welcome!

Sunday, November 13, 2-4pm, meet at the parking area at dead end of White Bridge Road, Great Swamp National Wildlife Trail head.
Members $8 each, non-members $10 each. Register online at www.greatswamp.org.

Moonlight Hikes – November 16
Although we don’t guarantee the moonlight, there will be plenty of nature to learn about on these night hikes around the watershed. We may hear owls, night insects or other night noises, perhaps even coyotes calling! Play some games to learn more about night senses, and revel in being out after dark without a flashlight!

Wednesday, November 16, 6 -8 pm, Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, Pleasant Plains Road.
Members $8 each, non-members $10 each. Register online at www.greatswamp.org.
